hi i have been trying to access maps from geoserver configured on my localhost. while i can access these maps on my other GIS applications like Arc and QGIS but here i am not able to do the same  
when accessed the dev options following is shown

"\*\*

> Access to fetch at '[http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms/project1?version=1.1.1&request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS](http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms/project1?version=1.1.1&request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS)' from origin '[http://localhost:5601](http://localhost:5601)' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled."

\*\*

and when i try to add layer in elastic maps it gives out a message of

_\> failed to load metadata_

> Blockquote

Hi @Ananya_Mohiley,

Looks like `CORS` are not configured on your geoserver in a way that Kibana could access it.  
Please make sure `CORS` are configured in such way that `http://localhost:5601` has access.

I'd refer to geoserver documentation and looked for `cors`

Hope this is helpful
